For medical care it is around the corner from Moffit Cancer, Pepin Heart, and hospitals.
I loved it there but would never go back.

I lived in a city that was rated #1 in the nation for a number of consecutive years and the result was that this beautiful place ended up encapsulated in 4 lane concrete. it broke my heart. My friends now tell me the city is no longer the same and i would be disappointed if I went back
This is a story repeated across this nation as it has in New Tampa and one that will soon become The Villages story. We moved here 10 years ago and moving about from golf course to town square was indeed a treat. The Villages has better than doubled since our move here 10 years ago and all that comes with it.
some will chide "well your one of those that claims Í got mine and I don't want you to have yours "........... no mine is a recognition that the people governing such places simply don't know how to manage or get too greedy and such places become a victim of their own success.
Recall the Oregon governor's claim back in the 1980's please come visit our state but then go back home
its not a matter of good or bad its just reality and we adjust
